I don't like speech therapy because it either helps for a day or two or it's a complete waste of time because they have no idea about what goes on inside your brain. Only you do. Stuttering is a burde...

I've never given a fake name for as long as I can remember. But this has happened to me many times and it's embarrassing mainly to myself. But for some reason this year when I've been introducing myse...

Stop taking shortcuts. You stutter. You're always going to stutter. The sooner you embrace this reality, the easier it will be for you and your listeners. I've been there. Once at a party during an in...

I hear it all the time from everyone who decides to criticise me about my stuttering. I don't care, that's the way I talk and maybe I do have problems breathing when I talk but I'm still the same pers...

Well, what you are really saying is that we do not stutter when we think, which we all know. I know you are aiming for an inspiration post, but I am not sure what to take from it....

I know that the intent is to help people, but it annoys me a bit when people with mild stuttering problems say things like this. You shouldn't give up on life just because of your stutter, but bei...

That's really good to hear. Right now, interactions with kids are honestly kind of nerve-wracking, so I hadn't really thought about actually being comfortable with my own. I'm impressed that you are ...

I actually stutter a lot more with my family and intimate friends than I do with strangers. Perhaps it's just because I don't give a fuck and they already know I have a stutter and don't care about it...

IMO you are severely limiting yourself from your actual potential. The people I mentioned before have only the opportunities that they can manage. You have a choice, they don't. You can learn to overc...

I don't know how old you are or what kind of medical issue brought on your stuttering, but as far as I am aware, blocking is stuttering. At least it is if you are blocking when you feel you are about ...

Thank you for the detailed response. Unfortunately, I'm not a stutterer at all; I only block. I haven't always blocked; I was completely fluent for my entire life and then unfortunately around 2 years...

Firstly, I don't think people *will* think you have a mental disability if you're blocking. The truth is, no matter how much we mind read and gleam, we don't know what people are thinking. A few bad e...

But what's the point of doing all of it? For instance, for stutterers, the end goal is that you are confident about it, learn that people are totally accepting of it, and you are able to stutter freel...
